2teaspoonchipotle chile powder(gives a nice smoky taste with heat)
1 1/2teaspoondried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoondried oregano
1teaspoondried lemon peel*ground with a little texture
Instructions
The method depends on if you are grinding your own spices OR purchasing them ground.
I grind my own spices to achieve the perfect consistency.I use a spice grinder, and grind these herbs and spices so they have a fine coarsely-ground consistency - but not too ground that it's a powder.
To Make: Combine all ingredients well. Add salt to your liking. Store in a glass container with a tight seal away from heat or light.
Notes
When spices are ground right before using - the best and freshest blend is achieved. And - the freshness of the spices is important too!*Lemon Rind: You can dehydrate the peels, then grind. Alternately - finely grate the rind, place on a piece of parchment paper and air dry in the sun.This recipe may not be reproduced without the consent of its author, Karen Sheer
